It looks like pro versions have big brackets that bolt into the cars frame. This one has two dinky little things...is it safe?

The brackets are actually pretty beefy. I put it on my 98 jeep with no problems. Not sure on what you plan on towing but if it's under 5000 pounds then you have no problem.

They are not the best and, depending on the vehicle you are towing, modifications might be needed, but over all they get the job done. Primarily be safe and you might want to get a good set of towing chains to add some extra security.

yes, IF it will actually attach to your car seat or you dont mind drilling holes on your car. I have a F350 superduty no such luck k had to mount it totally different. A 1 hole conduit strap screwed into the side of my console for support because the aluminum rod is sturdy but it sways like a sailor at sea.its not bad for the money also buy the extendable arm mount for the windshield, I have 2 note pro 12.2 note 3 for work and that pesky 8 ball pool. Now hope ata hep ya

As far as I can tell, the differences are: The color of the housing, the packaging and the stopper (the pro has a chrome stopper)

I think it will survive the automatic wash rollers. This is made of rubber. I did not try my car in this environment yet. So far I think this is one of the better protection front frame in the market.If your car wash can break this frame, stop going there!

I have a Subaru but was able to use the stock brackets. Just had to drill my own holes.

I bought mine in August of 2013 and its my daily driver. Its still holding up like a champ. Check your other mounts to see if they are good. You may have another busted one and Its breaking this one. That is what happened to me. My transmission mount was busted as well.

I dont own a genisis pro but I see no problem with putting it on one. You might have to get a different nut, bolt, and washer.

Both will do what they are designed to do. from all I've seen and heard, it's a personal preference. I do agree that the mounting system could use a good upgrading. Even using the dash mounting plate, it still falls off from time to time.

The bolt from my dealer was ok to mount the front license plate by itself for my 2015 forester but not long enough to mount with the flexyframe. I was ready to return it. But then I decided that I should also get a license plate mount bracket such as cc worx one to stick out more in front of my bumper. Not sure it would provide more protection but I guess it wouldn't hurt. With the cc worx bracket it comes with longer and extra bolts that let me also mount the flexyframe on the cc worx bracket. This is what I did for my forester. Don't know if it fits crosstrek but cant see why not

It fits RT. Not so sure about Pro. For me, the cover is not useful. Its heavy plus it makes the built in kickstand of surface useless. They should make cover where part of the back side is open to allow the built in kickstand to be used.

OK You see how there are (6) straps? Those ones that go near the taillights are going to fall out. I wouldn't chance it. Remember it's just tension and weight holding everything secure. The rack works. I still use mine to this day. I just wouldn't open the trunk with it on. At least they do on my Toyota Yaris. It may very well be cause of the design too.

No pro needed! It took about 15 minutes to install. You must, however, find a wall to shine the headlights and then adjust the direction. This is not a big deal. Look at spec. And where to doiect low beams. Hi will work if you start with low beams. Remember low beams are low a toward the right side of the road. Hope this helps! If you are worried install and take to shop to adjust if necessary.

Pro 4x is just stiffer springs but these will work fine I installed them on my 06 crew cab 4x4. You may get some coil bucket contact since it lifts the front end some.

DunkYes it will and it is amazingly easy to install makes the vehicle look much classier, but you can get it cheaper from car id and many other things as well. Safe travelling!

I assume the pro model is more robust and for frequent or even professional pod casters, but I don't really know.

I made my own brackets that is mounted on the radiator support frame. I also made some custom hard lines for the cooler for my 1997 4Runner. It works great!!
